Standards Organisation of Nigeria Aproves 42.5 Higher Grade of Cement For Dangote Cement Plc

The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) yesterday formally gave approval to Dangote Cement Plc to commence the rolling out of  42.5 higher grade of cement into the Nigerian market.

The agency said it had inspected the company’s manufacturing facilities across the country and found the processes to have been upgraded to efficiently  produce the 42.5 cement grade, which provides higher strength in building and construction.

SON made this declaration during Dangote's pre-media launch of its newly-introduced 42.5 cement grade, Dangote 3X cement, in Lagos, stressing that the indigenous cement manufacturer had been given full certification by the standards agency to produce the high quality cement.
